CLDP held an intellectual property adjudication forum in Pakistan which included judges, government officials and intellectual property professionals. The forum provided an outlet for the participants to realize challenges and opportunities inherent in the country’s IP capabilities, and allowed them to make recommendations for change.

CLDP advisors, including IP experts from the USPTO, the private sector and federal judges from the US, Australia and Thailand, conducted a seminar with Pakistan’s Intellectual Property Organization and judiciary to promote a better understanding of intellectual property principles and law.

CLDP conducted a judicial capacity building seminar on IP in Islamabad, Pakistan, to equip a core group of judges with an elevated understanding of IP and Pakistan's IP law, as well as an appreciation of the social and economic importance of IP to Pakistan.

CLDP coordinated a two-day workshop-conference, to be held from September 13-14 in Manila for roughly 200 attendees from the Philippines IPO, academia, law enforcement, and private sector. US, Filipino, and international experts provided an overview of the challenges and benefits of digital copyright protection and explore how strengthened regulatory structures can support this objective.

CLDP advisors, including an expert on IP administration shared information with Pakistan’s Intellectual Property Organization (IPO) on best practices in patent office operation and consulted on strategies for faster and more accurate patent application determination.

In response to a large backlog of patent applications, and increased volume in patent applications each year as a result of Pakistan's new recognition of pharmaceutical product patents, Pakistan's Patent Office has hired 12 new examiners. These examiners, though junior, are computer capable and have educational backgrounds in areas including pharmaceuticals, general chemistry, and electrical engineering. CLDP facilitated the involvement of 4 of these new patent examiners in the USPTO's Global Intellectual Property Academy in October of 2005, in order to familiarize these new examiners with international IP administration standards and best practices.
